He said the advice was very essential as she won the hearts of the community through her professionalism.

“Even during the EndSars protest within her command stations, other police posts were affected but her station was spared.

“She mixed up with her community, carried members of the community as one, she never saw anyone as a civilian or create a barrier among the populace’’.

Odita urged other police officers to form a cordial relationship with civilians and see them as one and also relate well with them to get good information that can assist them in carrying out their duties perfectly.

“Seeing a member of the public as your enemy will make them to never trust you, CSP Okuwobi is not like that,’’ he added.

He also encouraged her to continue with her friendly way of life by accommodating all manner of people.

Pastor Mrs. M.O Durojaiye, General Overseer of World New Revival Ministries International prayed that the almighty God would guide and protect her.

“I have not found an officer who is as free with everyone around her as my spiritual daughter. If others can be like her, especially the female police officers, the civilians will not have problems with the police.

In her address, CSP Okuwobi expressed appreciation to her police officers who made the job simple, and the entire Ejigbo community for their support and show of love.

CSP Olabisi Okuwobi who was enlisted into Nigeria Police Force as a Cadet in 2002 after her one year mandatory National Youth Service, has served meritoriously in various capacities at different units and departments locally and internationally.
